**__Work Habits__**

Your work habit mark is one that reflects your attitude and participation and is based on the following:

**Time-management** – Do you organize your time so that you have adequate time to complete assignments and participate in conferences? It is easy to procrastinate in an independent learning situation. I will support you but remember that you need to set aside enough time every week to do your work.

**Preparation for assignments and conferences** – Are you adequately preparing for assignments by completing the associated lessons? Are you meeting deadlines for assignment submission and conference participation? Are you able to determine when extra assistance is needed? Do you seek timely assistance when you are having difficulties with assignments?

**Participation** – Do you maintain regular contact with your course facilitator? Are you actively involved in online discussions, without dominating it? Are you encouraging and kind to others? Do you cooperate with others in online collaborative situations? Are you respectful of your classmates’ contributions and ideas?
